mitt romney is not one of them. mitt romney is a person who has said i do believe in exceptions for rape and the health of the mother. so, i think that these two cases certainly democrats made a lot of hay out of the akin and very successful for them politically. i can see them trying to do the same with mourdock. it will be very successful and i think steve to your point that you're right that it will sort of cement the narrative that obama is the woman kand date, the candidate for women. and mitt romney is the candidate for men. >> and certainly in terms of control of the senate, one more example where extremism has cost republicans a seat that they should have got. >> i should just point out. 10 million more women voters than men. 54% of the electorate. leading among men is not leading among women. >> i think there's agreement of both sides and heard people of both sides of a tug of a very specific demographic. married mothers who they think are the difference in colorado or ohio and torn because they have really

what mitt romney's tv ads say about women, or what mitt romney, himself, says? >> do i believe supreme court should overturn roe v. wade? yes. and it would be my preference that they reverse roe v. wade. hopefully reverse roe v. wade. overturn roe v. wade. planned parenthood, we're going to get rid of that. i'll cut off funding to planned parenthood. >> no matter what mitt romney's ads say, we know what he'll do. >> in an interview with "rolling stone" magazine president obama was asked if he believes mitt romney will try and undo roe v. wade. "i don't think there's any doubt," the president said. "we know the current supreme court has four members who would overturn roe v. wade. all it takes is one more for that to happen." the longer mitt romney stays silent on this issue the worse he looks. this is an issue of leadership and character which i think he lacks. at least richard mourdock, as much as i disagree with him, has the guts to stand up and say what he believes and then stand by it. the same can never be said for mitt romney. get your cell phones out. i w

. >> romney has b. put millions of dollars behind ads saying i'm not that bad on contraception and abortion. it's not that -- he's not proudly stating his positions, i'm proud to overturn roe, defund planned parenthood. he's put this woman forward if you've seen the ad, trying to say i'm not that bad. he knows these issues hurt him with women, and with men, frankly. we've seen it over and over, say one thing in one audience and do another. that's clearly in the debate. the fact that mitt romney could not answer a basic question where he would be on equal pay, which is a fundamental economic issue, shows how much they don't want to stand behind their positions which of course is to oppose lilly ledbetter fair pay act. >> does it alarm you to see that erosi erosion? >> of course. all of the research shows when women know how extreme mitt romney is on these positions, they won't vote for him, and menace well. the important thing, as this election here, these last two weeks a lot of women are focusing on th

romney is also a hypocrite. as president obama points out, mitt romney's plan for the auto workers of ohio would have actually sent jobs to china. >> he's hoping you won't remember that his economic plan is more likely to create jobs in china than here in ohio because it rewards companies that shift jobs overseas instead of companies that create jobs right here in ohio, right here in the united states of america. if mitt romney had been president when the auto industry was on the verge of collapse, we might not have an american auto industry today. we'd be buying cars from china instead of selling cars to china. >> so here is where we are. mitt romney's path to the presidency is almost impossible without ohio's 18 electoral votes. right now winning ohio is not looking good for romney. six ohio polls were released this week. five of them have president obama leading. one is tied. president obama's average lead in ohio is 2.3 points. that's a big lead, seriously. now families in northern ohio have not forgotten wh
